Reviewer scorecard
“Best instruction-following of any model. Tool use and extended thinking are reliable. The API design is clean.”
“EAS Build, OTA updates, and the managed workflow eliminate the worst parts of mobile development. Indispensable.”
“Claude consistently produces the most useful outputs for real work. The longer context window is a genuine advantage.”
“Expo has matured from toy to production platform. The config plugins and custom dev clients removed the old limitations.”
“Anthropic's focus on safety without sacrificing capability is the right approach. Claude keeps getting better.”
“Expo is making React Native the default for mobile. Universal apps (web + mobile) from one codebase is the future.”
